Clear a weighted search
Click the Reset button to the right of the search status icons in the upper-right corner m
of the Event Browser.
Tip: ∏ If clips still appear to be missing from view, make sure to choose either All Clips
or Hide Rejected from the Filter pop-up menu in the upper-left corner of the
Event Browser.
Search for clips by clip name and notes
You can use the search eld to quickly nd clips by name and any notes (applied in list
view) without having to open the Filter window.
1 In the Event Library, select one or more Events you want to search.
2 In the search eld, enter the clip’s name or notes applied to the clip you’re looking for.
Conduct a lter and search workow
Performing a weighted search and then ltering the clips in the Event Browser by
rating is a powerful way to quickly nd clips. This is also the best method of nding
specic clips that you haven’t rated and comparing them against the clips you
have rated.
1 In the Event Library, select the Event or folder you want to search.
2 Search for clips using a combination of search criteria as described in the “Search for
clips by a combination of criteria” steps above. However, do not apply a ratings lter
using the Filter window.
3 Use the Filter pop-up menu, as described in the “Filter clips quickly by rating” steps
above, to quickly lter the clips by rating.
4 Repeat step 3 until you nd the clips you’re looking for.
Save searches as Smart Collections
When you search for clips in an Event using the Filter window, you can save your
results by creating a new Smart Collection that gathers clips matching the search
criteria. Anytime a new clip that matches the Smart Collection’s search criteria is
brought into the Event, the new clip is automatically added to the Smart Collection.
Clips that appear in Smart Collections are not duplicates. Smart Collections lter clips
in an Event to help you focus on the clips you need to use for a specic task.
